* Pierre-Samuel Dupont de Nemours: quarterly: azure on a mount
vert a column argent, and gules a chevron or.
Dupont was ennobled by Louis XVI in 1783; he took the name Dupont de Nemours
(from his constituency) to distinguish himself from other Duponts in the
National Assembly of 1789-91. He went into exile in the US. There, his
son Eleuthère-Irérénée, while hunting with
Thomas Jefferson, noticed the poor quality of American gunpowder. Having
been an intern with the chemist Lavoisier before the Revolution, he had the
requisite expertise, and decided to set up a factory in Delaware. This is
the origin of the chemical giant E.I. Dupont.

William, who settled in France, bore different arms, a bend engrailed

an inescutcheon of St George charged with another of France Modern.
A crescent azure for cadency. Two helms, dexter a

the bend, so lower three are upside down. On each wing of both eagles
a yellow curve ending in three blobs. The supporters stand on a scroll,
which reads IN TRINITATE ROBUR. Behind all this a mantle topped
with a prince's crown. The mantle is the same color as the inside
of the crown. I therefore suppose that it is purpure, though it
looks brown. (Some of the elements of this are found separately
in the book. I assume you recognise them.)
